Mission Statement

Global Action Nepal was founded in 1996 with the primary aim of improving the education of children in Nepal. Since then, GAN has diversified its activities to work within a number of different areas, including environmental, health, and sanitation issues, whilst keeping a focus on education at the very heart of our activities.

GAN believes that the people of Nepal have the right to basic services, and that they deserve to be in control of their own destiny. GAN’s projects and work are always closely in harness with grass roots’ level needs, focusing on community-led, participatory development. GAN does not seek to change the culture or people of Nepal but to provide them with the tools to enable them to help themselves.

Much of GAN’s work focuses on children, seeing them as the future of the country and the means by which any real change must come about, and endeavours to advance the role of children in the community.
